Shoe challenge #9: Pink+zebra

Behold the mess that is my shoe collection. My dressing room is currently overflowing with shoes, in and out of their boxes, and it's getting very hard for me to keep track of all of them. These zebra monsters normally have a special place of their own, on the window sill behind me, and I love them with pink. (I love everything with pink, mind you) So far, I've only worn this dress with either these platforms or my overly loved colour block mary janes.

The dress was a Yoox find (no way I could've afforded it full price), and I love it particularly because of the neckline. It's demure and classy, while still "me" because of the colour. As you can see it makes for an excellent work outfit. I do curse those American sizes though, I never get it right and although my mum already took this dress in quite a lot around the waist, I still can't wear it without a belt for emphasis.

Look at those monsters! Would be a shame to create a monochrome outfit around them.

(I seem to be repeating myself a lot lately: last time I wore these with a similar coloured dress)

Outfit: Zebra

Words can't describe how much I love these shoes. They are real showstoppers, and I'm so happy I hunted them down on eBay. I think they work great with solid colours, like this pink dress. I like to put the zebras in the spotlight alright, but not so much that I'm willing to wear an all black outfit with them.  Where's the challenge in that, right?

I wore this outfit to work on Friday, and I even felt brave enough to work the three belt thing. I actually like how it looks, like one big multicoloured obi belt, and I got more than one compliment about it.

Shoeperwoman Amber is starting a new Shoe challenge soon, and personally, I can't wait. I feel like I've been really lazy with my shoes and outfits lately. Time to shake things up again!

New babies

It's time for another shoe detox, me thinks. I've been bying shoes at an alarming rate lately, while I should be focusing on other stuff, like getting some curtains for my (not so) new home, some shelves so my shoes can be properly displayed, a christmas tree and decorations (all pink, of course), christmas presents etc etc...
Funny anecdote, my dad was here a couple of days ago and commented on how my heels seem to get higher and higher... Now why would he think that?
